Star Sky Professional-Chapter 665 - 563: Plant Growth and Mountain Lord Transformation

Chapter 665: Chapter 563: Plant Growth and Mountain Lord Transformation

Deep in the mountains and forests.

On a patch of grassland, a wild goat is leisurely grazing.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a massive black and yellow-striped shadow leaps out with a gust of wind, pinning the goat to the ground. With its mouth wide open, it bites down on the goat’s neck.

The goat’s hooves twitch continuously, kicking up grass and soil, but eventually it stops struggling and becomes a corpse.

The hunter is a mountain tiger.

However, it doesn’t start feasting immediately but instead roars towards a part of the forest.

"Here it comes."

A figure flashes by, and Fang Xing emerges.

Nowadays, he is decked out like never before, wearing animal skin clothing and deer leather boots. Although he still looks like a wild man, it’s much better than his previous appearance clad only in grass skirts.

Fang Xing takes out a paper dagger and expertly gut the goat, tossing the freshest entrails to the tiger.

The big tiger lowers its head to swallow, letting out a satisfied whimper.

Fang Xing takes a few pieces of lamb chop and starts roasting them.

"Is this... considered aiding the tiger in its wrongdoing?"

While chewing on the roasted lamb, Fang Xing silently ponders.

With the ’Druid’ profession, he thrives in the wilderness, finding this period almost as relaxing as a vacation.

Even when encountering this big tiger, it wasn’t hostile at first; instead, it seemed quite friendly.

It even voluntarily escorted Fang Xing over a great distance.

"Alright, Big Huang, after all, sending someone off must eventually lead to separation..."

After eating and drinking his fill, Fang Xing pats the tiger’s head: "Let’s part ways here..."

"Roar!"

The big tiger roars, somewhat reluctantly turns around, and runs into the forest.

Soon, it returns carrying a few rabbits.

"Haha... rest assured, my hunting skills are no worse than yours!"

Fang Xing laughs heartily, glancing at the attribute bar:

[You have gained multiple ’Wilderness Enlightenment’ from your animal companion, and acquired some ’Natural Knowledge’!]

[Your ’Wilderness Transformation’ talent has gained an additional form—Mountain Lord Transformation!]

...

In nature, the Druid’s experience grows rapidly, and Fang Xing feels he is not far from reaching level 3.

The reason for teaming up with Big Huang, besides having a free fighter and bodyguard, is mainly to observe and learn from it, acquiring a brand-new wilderness transformation form!

Just now, after accumulating multiple instances of ’Natural Knowledge’, Fang Xing finally got what he wished for.

He lunges forward.

Roar roar!

In an instant, he transforms into a white-striped mountain lord, exuding power and moving like the wind, leaping through the forest.

Big Huang is stunned momentarily, even rubbing its eyes with its paws like a puzzled husky.

The two tigers frolic and play for a while, then Fang Xing roars a farewell and chooses to leave.

Swish swish!

He travels through the mountains and forests, his innate evil qi causing all small animals and even weak malevolent spirits to retreat, his speed incredibly fast.

’Even an ordinary tiger’s striking force is ten times that of an average adult! Its biting power exceeds expectations...’

’This world’s mountain lord surpasses even that...’

’Once I reach level 5, the ’Mountain Lord Transformation’ will surely gain spell-like abilities, then it will be a demon tiger...’

...

Night falls.

Fang Xing finds a cave and exudes a hint of tiger power, causing the snakes, insects, mice, and ants inside to flee.

He returns to human form, takes out the grass-woven bag from the tiger’s back, and dons animal skin clothing: "I really need to get some space equipment quickly, otherwise it’s too troublesome..."

"Although ’Druid’ has the ability to create wonders, it requires high profession levels later on..."

Crash crash!

Outside, the wind howls, accompanied by heavy rain.

Fang Xing sits cross-legged, channeling ’Green Wood Skill’.

The plant essence qi between heaven and earth rushes in, more concentrated than in Paper Slave Valley.

Soon, he feels his mana within reaching its limit, the mana within his meridians eager to open new acupoints and pathways.

Unfortunately, without the next layer of cultivation technique, it’s impossible.

"If only I had the second layer of the cultivation technique, it would be good. But even without it, creating it myself takes too long, and it’s easy to fall into demonic deviation... Of course, based on my experience and insight, demonic deviation is not a big issue, but the time and energy consumed, it would be better to find a loose cultivator workshop and purchase directly..."

Judging from how previously he could easily acquire items, it’s clear these basic cultivation techniques for the Qi Sensing Realm don’t have much value.

However, even though he can’t improve his Qi Sensing Realm cultivation, his Druid experience has no limits.

As plant essence qi continuously enters and is refined... experience points grow rapidly:

[You have conducted a cultivation, obtaining ’Nature Baptism’! You have gained some ’Natural Knowledge’!]

[Druid profession upgraded to level 3! Obtained ’Plant Growth’!]

"It’s here... the core ability of the Druid’s plant domain!"

Fang Xing’s eyes gleam:

[Plant Growth: You can cast druid spells to enhance plant growth, the range and growth period are directly related to the Druid’s profession level and the plant’s characteristics...]

"Before reaching the legendary stage of a Druid, the two most critical domains are ’plants’ and ’animals’... And the core talent of the ’animal domain’ is ’Wilderness Transformation’, while the talent of the ’plant domain’ is ’Plant Growth’!"

Fang Xing’s eyes lit up: "With this, I am the best Spirit Plant Cultivator, able to make a living anywhere... No, aiming to just make a living is too low; I should be living in luxury."

The Druid’s inherent ’Natural Affinity’ can allow him to communicate with plants and understand how to treat plant diseases and pests... Combined with ’Plant Growth’, calling him a Spiritual Medicine Grandmaster wouldn’t be an exaggeration!

Such a person can receive absolute preference anywhere.

Of course, Fang Xing is reluctant to bind himself to any Sect from the Outer World, even those seemingly reputable sects.

After all, both the righteous and evil factions of the Outer World are branded as ’demonic outsiders’ by the Great Zhou Divine Dynasty. Although there’s a sense of victor’s justice, it is true that both sides have united to resist the Great Zhou Divine Dynasty.

Therefore, one should not easily believe the actions and bottom lines of those so-called reputable sects.

He glanced at the attribute bar:

[Name: Fang Xing]

[Age: 16/31]

[Profession: Druid Level 3]

[Realm: Qi Sensing First Level]

[Talent: Natural Affinity, Wilderness Transformation, Plant Growth]

[Skill: All-Complete Hand (Beginner 89/100), Paper Folding Technique (Beginner 6/100)]

...

"The life expectancy has increased again... but I can currently only live up to my thirties, damn Blood Shadow Sect! I will definitely take revenge for this grievance!"

This hatred towards the Blood Shadow Sect, Fang Xing remembered deeply.

"As for lifespan? When I reach Druid Level 5 and acquire the [Youthful Forever] talent, many issues would be alleviated... If the cultivation road breaks through to the Dao Foundation Realm, it could extend life by over a hundred years, with Qi Sensing Ninth Level, Dao Foundation Third Level... Even with a lower Dao Foundation, one could easily live over two hundred years, let alone the upper Dao Foundation..."

"As for Paper Folding Technique? Until my lifespan becomes sufficiently abundant, it’s better to practice it less... I just need to survive until my true self awakens, and that’s considered a success!"

...

Morning!

As heavy rain initially subsided, the air between the mountains and wilderness was fresh, albeit muddy.

Fang Xing walked out of the cave and picked berries to prepare for breakfast.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, his eyes shifted, finding a few plants resembling rice.

This was quite normal, as rice and wheat cultivated by the Human Clan originally came from selective breeding of wild plants.

He spread his hands, and a layer of green light fell upon the plants.

In an instant!

The few wild rice plants quickly matured, their color turning golden, producing abundant rice ears.

"After all, these are just mundane plants. If it were a Spiritual Medicine beneficial for cultivation, I might not be able to mature them with a single spell."

Fang Xing murmured to himself: "But with this, as long as I carry a few seeds, I won’t starve wherever I go..."

He reached out to pluck the rice ears, communicating with plants through Natural Affinity, and could even find the plumpest or most prone to mutation seeds.

"If I do this a few more times, multiple hybridizations... I might be able to cultivate better grains, benefiting countless people and potentially achieving sainthood through merit, who knows, I might ascend on the spot..."

Fang Xing amusingly thought.

However, the Great Druid’s abilities are indeed a perfect match for agriculture.

Even, when a Druid reaches the Legendary Stage, they might awaken abilities like ’Weather Alteration’.

For example, Fang Xing’s ’Flood Dragon Transformation’ could summon clouds and rain.

’By then, it would be a quintessential model of agricultural divine enthronement...’

Fang Xing daydreamed aimlessly for a while, then planted another round of rice, preparing to harvest it for porridge.

After all, after days in the mountains and forests, he was tired of eating roasted meat.

But, after pulling out the dried rice straw, he discovered the soil here had already become somewhat barren.

"Though Plant Growth is good, it shouldn’t be overused..."

He sensed a mysterious warning from nature.

"Otherwise, I might skew from the Druid path and venture onto another path as a dark druid..."

"Of course, wither and desolation are also part of nature! But it carries a sense of being a member of the evil faction, easy to be targeted by everyone!"

...

In the following days.

Fang Xing kept traveling through the mountains and forests.

He could only identify a rough direction, ensuring he was moving further away from the Paper Slave Valley.

As to where exactly he was heading, he didn’t know.

However.

He gradually noticed the vegetation around became sparse, realizing he was finally about to exit the wilderness area.

This day.

"Ah!"

Fang Xing had just hunted a fawn when he heard a scream not far away.

With a light leap, he spanned several meters, landing on a rock.

There he saw two people dressed as medicine gatherers, one with a pained expression and a blood mark on his back, the other showing a face full of greed, holding a sickle in hand.

Not far from them was an old ginseng plant.

"Beast?!"

Seeing Fang Xing, the two who were scheming against each other were immediately startled.
